First, I'd like to define the term "state," based on the information provided by www.webster.com. It is "a politically organized body of people usually occupying a definite territory; especially one that is sovereign or the political organization of such a body of people."
Playboy: a magazine published by a prune in pajamas who actually believes those blond twins think he's hot. In other words, a harmless diversion for the pathetic and deluded.
Mike Wolff made comments in Wednesday's Daily Lobo editorial that cannot go unchallenged.
New Mexico is the type of place that can make you tear your hair out if you are big on change or efficiency, but it has found its niche by embracing its endearing quirkiness. The Land of Enchantment is an odd mix of culture and stubbornness that lures artists seeking inspiration in droves.
The Board of Regents clearly hasn't been reading my columns. At any rate, the regents are not taking my advice. I think we can all agree that a 4.3 percent tuition hike - after years of annual tuition hikes - is a bad idea.
I am fed up with reading about the so-called generous offers given to the Palestinians and that Israel had to occupy Palestine.
Have any of you experienced the following? You're an adult with a college degree - or on your way to one - and a good job that you're successful at; you have a healthy lifestyle and the respect of your peers. But your family still sees you as the snotty 10-year-old who has to be reminded to change your underwear and thinks it's funny to belch the alphabet at dinner.
It is interesting to note that two recent letter writers have forgotten one important fact: the state of Israel's right to defend itself.
Water is life; it is the universal blood of all of us. It would be nice if this concept could open and end all debates, conferences and classes on water-related issues so that we all recognize and celebrate our universal relationship with water.
George W. Bush wants to put the noose around Saddam Hussein. Ariel Sharon would like to do the honors for Yasser Arafat. Most other leaders in the Middle East would like to kick the chair out from under Bush and Sharon. A man recently told me, "Let 'em all dangle!"
I would like to take this opportunity to explain to my fellow students what Student Special Events is and clear up some misconceptions. SSE is an executive agency of ASUNM. We organize events for the entire campus without political, religious or departmental affiliation. Our goal is to bring diverse speakers, cultural events, different types of music and co-sponsor events with student organizations.
I am an Israeli student here at UNM, and I am disturbed by the one-sided perspective and lack of knowledge of the basic facts that some writers - Ms. Lori Rudolph, for example - express regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
If the uproar over ASUNM's $300,000 budget bankrolled by student fees isn't enough to convince students to get out and vote, they should consider the following.
I am writing in regard to a grave affliction that has pervaded this campus for quite some time now and has overstayed its welcome. Figuratively speaking, it is a cancer of sorts, one that delves deep into the essential core of this University and renders the indifference of the student body uncontrollable, proliferative and otherwise rampant.
I want to take the opportunity to thank Dathan Weems and his organizing staff for the Spring Storm event held Saturday. Even though the event was a first for UNM, it appeared to go very smoothly. I believe it to be a worthwhile event that I hope will continue in upcoming years
It is once again time for elections to take place at UNM. I hope that every student on campus realizes the importance of the elections and takes time out of their day to vote.
